The Front Porch Pub Reviews

Great wings. Busy waitstaff. Catch your server or you may not see them again for a while.

Food is delicious. Service is great. Friendly and efficient. Always checking up for your needs and satisfaction. A no pressure night out.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent as well! Me and a bunch of my friends traveled from NY To celebrate my birthday party... the boss a young beautiful lady who has passion to design her own recipes ... each year she changes her menu for making customers always can try something new food from the menu......

Some good vegetarian options, nice drink selection and friendly waitstaff. Wish they had a veggie burger though. Tuesday night Trivia was a lot of fun. Will return.

I ordered the 6 oz. Steak sandwich. Hardly no meat on sandwich, couldn't find my carmelized onions and bread was hard. Very disappointed in my meal.

Amazing food , service and atmosphere. Its a true hidden gem!

Wonderful food and nice atmosphere. Only downside is that it was too cold inside.

We sat outside it was incredibly noisy with trucks roaring by. Prices were very reasonable. Staff was nice.

Wow I haven't been there in a long time bartenders were friendly, food was very good their wings are excellent

Great food, service can be a little lacking, during certain times. Service is reason for 4 stars.

Atmosphere is great, Meg the bartender is a character and always keeps me laughing. such a great place to relax and enjoy your time.

Decent food but great beer selection. Friendly staff.

Great atmosphere! Cozy feel. The food...... excellent in every way. Original fusion of Asian and American flavors. Worth every dime. We'll be back!

Wings and dumplings and drinks were amazing, great atmosphere

Excellent Food Highly Recommended A+ But I Will Say This The Waitress I've Had The 1st 2 Times I've Been There Takes Your Orders But Forgets To Bring Em Out When You Order Other Sides And I Asked For A Refill On My Soda Twice And Didn't Get No Response To Which I Had To Ask Another Waiter For The Refill And He Got It For Me I Was Here Yesterday At The Time Between 7-8pm And The Waitress Forgot To Bring Out Thr Order Of Fries And A Bowl Of White Rice With Ginger Food Is Excellent The Atmosphere Is Awesome But Don't Go Wednesday Nights Due To The Forgetfull Waitress

This place is incredible! Every drink and bite of food was delicious and the staff is so nice and welcoming! Definitely coming back!!

Great food, great beer selection and always great service! Get the double fried wings, you will not be disappointed.

First time customer, went for lunch today with a friend. Had the steak sandwich with no mushrooms, the flavor was amazing. The sweet potato fries were nothing special needed some kind of seasoning or a sprinkle of cinnamon even. Got double fried wings and holy cow. AMAZING. I am a wing lover, these were beyond crispy and moist. I had the bourbon bbq flavor which was great as well. Definitely heading back!!

Amazing wings and the bartender Jackie (sp) is smart, fun and very easy on the eyes

OMG I went over the weekend for the first time and the double fried wings are AMAZING! I m ready to go back anytime.

Great Place. Great Food. Very Accommodating Staff. So helpful and attentive.

The food is really unique and delicious, the atmosphere is really cool but the staff are idiots and the wait is too long.

Went there twice for dinner and put up with inattentive bartender service because the food was good. Tonight i went back for dinner, there was one seat open at the bar. After being completely and i mean completely ignored for 10 minutes, I walked out and i will never give them my business again! It's so insulting as a customer to be ignored like that.

The food was pretty good and fancy but way too expensive for a small town bar. New management seems like they're working on it though.

The vibe of this place was awesome, very rustic chic and could tell a lot of care was put into the decor. We got wings for an appetizer which were great, crispy with plenty of meat. I got the goat cheese and beet salad and it was delicious.

This place sure knows how to serve their clients. Consistently with a helpful mindset. The food is conveniently priced, constantly flavorful and clean.

Delicious twist on your typical bar food. Try the General Tso's tacos! Stay away from the Mak Attack... Great place to spend an afternoon watching the game.

Best double fried wings ever.... And plenty of booze....

My only complain is that some of the food (wings, burger) didn't have much flavor. They were crispy but tasted as if they weren't seasoned before frying.

Thanks god for my realtor to recommend me this place I went with a positive mind set and it was great the customer service goes beyond and the food taste amazing!

Melissa is a wiz in the kitchen, every single app and entree that came out was stellar. Could not recommend enough. The service was lovely, the food was next level, the beer and liquor selection is full of delicious craft cocktails and local brews. Cannot recommend enough. A local gem.

The staff was amazing. Super attentive and very nice. They made they made the experience that much better. The food was good I had no complaints at all. I ordered the maple bacon jalapeno wings which I thought were slammin. Also ordered the guiness burger and that bun was delicious. I can honestly say that bun made the burger unique for me and I would go back for that. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this pub. You really cant go wrong.

Great place!! Excellent service and yummy food. Make a reservation..so popular.

This place totally rocks. I had the double fried wings and not only did they fry out the trans fats but they were delicious!!!!!!!!

Deliciously unique menu. Cozy atmosphere. Hospitable employees. Great beer menu.

Off my experience they work on doordash orders too slow. Time is money.

Awesome food. Great beer selection. Must have the Double-Fried wings!!!

Lauren is fantastic. Green tea shots thank you for the great service. Highly recommend mac n cheese.

Amazing service, amazing good, and welcoming feeling!

why !!!! why over priced for nothing more then bar food you could get the same food an better anywhere else with more sides for a lot less!!!!

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks and beer selection.

Wet
sat in the tent everything was wet,, and its a" hole in the wall bar" that's trying to serve food

We went there for a late dinner. Although open until 1M, the kitchen closed around 10. Street parking was available. The neighborhood was a bit run down. This looks like a local pub. The crowd was young.
We had burgers. They were good. We're too big for us to finish. Would probably come again.

I Passed by this place so many times and never realized what I had been missing. Growing up I always thought this was just another dive bar. One of my friends started coming here recently and suggested it after we left the Celtic Corner because of overly loud near deafening music. Am I glad we did. The double fried wings are nothing short of amazing. Really they are. I LOVE wings; these were some of the best. The 30 minute wait for them is totally worth it. Maple Bacon Jalapeno wings are soooo good. The front porch burger was good, but my girlfriend's burger with the lotus bun was even better. The interiors atmosphere mixed with the super friendly waitstaff make this place the perfect spot for a relaxing night you can spend talking to your friends and not yelling at them. I will admit I did judge a book by its cover but hopefully this review pushes you to not make the same mistake.

What a concept - fusion of American bar food with Asian twist - Brilliant!!!
The place is not cheap but what you pay is what you get!
The chicken wings are truly amazing! Burger is also good but wings...

Burgers were good but bimbop was cold with raw veggies

Quite possibly the best wings around. Double fried and plump with meat, they did not disappoint! Good atmosphere and nestled away from hustle and bustle. A little pricey but not prohibitively so.

Decent place. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff.

Food is good BUT if you are not a local/ regular their costumer service is TERRIBLE!!!! I was there a week before with couple of people who are locals and the same older prob in her late 40's or early 50's waiter was great but then again I was with locals . I was very impressed by the place and even though I live 50 mins away , I decided to go back with new people thinking the costumer service was going to be the same. The same waiter was rude, seemed not to have patience and was overall the worst costumer service I ever had in my life. This being said i will never go back back or recommend this place to anyone.

Fun comfortable atmosphere good food very reasonable prices

Nice, cozy spot with delicious food. Veronica was dope.

Nice change with the new owners. Love the menu and the service.

Burgers and wings are awesome

The food was good and beer menu was excellent. Service was slow and spotty considering there was only 4 tables. The menu is odd and feels like it is all over the place which made selecting something difficult. Lots of things did sound good. The menu is the reason for 3 stars instead of 4.

Ordered shrimp tempura and beet and goat cheese salad. The food quality was food. Portion sizes are pretty decent too. They have a liquor license, so no byob. Since only sitting outside is allowed at this point, the seating is limited and quite noisy due to the major roadway and trains passing by. I would not go back for that reason, but otherwise a decent place to grab a bite.

Good atmosphere, great food with a lot of healthy and also unique options, and friendly service

Great place to stop in after work on Thursdays and fridays with friends to wind down and have some great CRAFT beers and Appetizers

Overall I'd say it was a good experience. The food was good, and the prices seemed fair. The menu was small but everything on it seemed like it was worth trying. I also thought the atmosphere was well done inside.

Really great double fried wings and rotating beer selection.

Nice variety in the menu and lots of beers available. I will definitely come here again!

The food was delicious. Tables are a little cramped. Had braised pork, beef ribs and sweet potato fries. Definitely going again.

Great atmosphere with a great selection if beer. The food is unbelievably good. Highly recommended!

Looks can be deceiving from the outside but once you're inside, you feel right at home. A little pricey to eat but the food is good and there's a nice selection of drinks from the bar. Casual and cozy, older crowd.

Absolutely AMAZING! Shrimp Tempura perfect crunchy with a hint of lemon.... DELISH!
Pork chop had woodsy flavor , perfectly cooked ... soooo tender- squash,sprouts apple bacon hash -perfection ... everything plays and compliments each other...
Our little hidden gem #foodies #hawthorne #thefrontporch #bergencountyeats #newmenu #passaiccounty #passaiccountyeats #dontmissthis

Let me start with the simple fact, best WINGS in NJ (One wing everyone knows the rules). It pains me to only give it 4 stars, Because the fact of the matter is I haven't had one bad thing on the menu. I have been a returning customer and I will continue to be one. I only ask sweep the place and do some dusting. Last time i arrived, again I want to emphasize on how well the wings were cooked (#bestwingsinnj) and in such a large order. Unfortunately I was being attacked by flys and I pray the kitchen isn't the same way. Also whipe the menus down only takes a sec and makes all the difference. Besides that amazing food impressive staff thats is always ready to help. Keep up the good work wish you many years of success.

Had double-fried wings, not good choice. Good craft beer selection but food menu is a little pricey.

Nice bar with a wide selection of beer. The food is the real star here. Gastro pub with an Asian twist.

This place deserves ALL STARS. The owner and staff are incredible and deserve praise EVEN BEFORE The Double Fried Wings. The rest of the menu is outstanding. The atmosphere is so laid back and fun. The staff remember you, and you remember them. Such a great place. I love that it is right in my Hometown, in walking distance as well. But I would drive quite a few miles for pretty much anything going on there. Try it out! The wait for the wings is worth it!

The Front Porch is a homey grub pub that's is a two steps up from your regular town bar. Their double fried wings are amazing and I would like to think of myself as a connoisseur of wings. The food is amazing with Asian inspired meals and twists on American fare.
My own reservation for leaving 5 stars is their beer. They have a great array of different kinds of beers on draft and bottle. The draft beers is where I take issue. Many times I've been at the Front Porch and to my delight they have had rare beers on tap. To my dismay, these beers tend to come out flat or just really off. When I ask for a new/different beer, the wait staff always assumes I either didn't know what I was ordering or I'm being fussy.
I stick to bottles or order more common beers to stay away from that.
All in all, if you live in the area and haven't been to the Front Porch, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. Go try it!

We ate dinner here for the first time in 15 years, it must be new owner. It is very clean and decorated nicely with that rustic nostalgic touch. The food has been fantastic . We have been back 4-5 times since and each time has been just as nice. Highly recommend.

Bar was full, some tables were empty. Just came for drinks. Said we couldn't sit down. Got a table outside. Waited. Went to order beers at the bar. Was ignored for a while. Ordered. Said they didn't have yuengling, and that I should look at a menu. They didn't give me a menu. Got a menu off another customer. Ordered some other beers after being ignored again. Waitress asked if I was being served after 20 minutes. Bar tender continued to ignore me. Owner stood there the whole time and did nothing. Most staff just standing around. Never got my drinks. Had to leave thirsty after over half an hour. Zero stars for zero service. But I have to put one to post.

Good attention. Variety of craft beers, good sandwiches and food in general

The food and cocktails were great but it was unfortunate that my table was asked to leave even though we kept ordering rounds of food and drinks because another table had made a reservation. I understand seating is limited due to Covid but then dont take reservations because it is extremely rude to ask paying customers to leave as they are enjoying their time and spending money. This is the first time I have been out with a group of friends since the pandemic started and we would have continued spending money but to be asked to leave because another table was coming is ridiculous. After we had asked for the check a table of the same size got up to leave so they would have had room to service both my table and the new one. It's unfortunate that they would rather have use leave than continue growing our $200+ check. Service was okay but very inattentive for only having such limited seating. Limited enough seating to kick my table out but not limited enough to provide attentive service.

Great place to go . Wings and burgers are awesome.!! Best place for burgers in Hawthorne area .
